Devils-Avalanche Game Thread

Ice Man, I don't know why I'm replying to a bonehead like you, but I guess I just felt compelled. I haven't been on this board for a while, but can someone clue me in, is this Ice Man just another flake that shouldn't merit any response?

Hey, I am thrilled he scored, but one goal does not change my mind. I'm not saying he sucks, I'm not saying send him to the minors, I just think that his talents are wasted on a team that plays the trap. Truthfully, after his rookie year did you think he'd still be posting the minimal numbers he is? I just don't think he is a good fit for this team... rings not withstanding (wink).

We will out skate you.We will out work you.We will out will you.And when your head is spinning, your lungs are gasping for air, and you're wondering what hit you...We will start the 2nd period. --BlackJack

Who says regular season games aren't exciting Two in a row in three nights, man oh man. Gotta love Chico, after Gomer gets the goal saying oh that's a surprise, it's his first of the year. Yeah it's a surprise he actually scored I like Gomer as much as anyone, but he's not a goal-scorer Of course Gomer almost became the goat after that with the double minor, but the Devils killed it off fortunately

Yeah, real cake walk when the Avs still had Sakic (who's still the only player in the league that owns Stevens), Tanguay (a reknown Devil-killer), Hedjuk (50 goals last year) and Selanne (Buttbuddy #2), not to mention Blake and Morris, defensemen that can score too.

Hey, say what you want about Gomez, someone always will. But he's a guy that has made well under $1M for each of his 4 years in the league, has finished either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd on the team in scoring each of those 4 years, and has won 2 cups in 4 years, made it to the finals another year, and the only year his team hasn't made it to the finals he was out hurt for the entire playoffs. I'd say the Devils have gotten the bang for their buck! Enough said.

Big-time win for the Devils. They always seem to have fits when playing against the Avs... good to see they can hold their own, though it did come without Selanne & Kariya in the lineup.

But hey, a win is a win. Good job, boys.

How about Rafalski and Elias with 2 assists each.

Actually Forsberg and Kariya, but yeah any win over that team is a good win. Especially after giving up the lead in the third period off of one of the dumbest turnovers I've ever seen after it looked like White's goal would give them almost a carbon copy win as the one they had Thursday. But Friesen does pick his moments well doesn't he?

And yeah Raf and Elias are piling up the assists. It would be nice for Elias to get more goals, but I guess you can't complain about points

Argh! Nobody told me it was an afternoon game! I was out getting groceries. I bought chips and hrmm... *tries to remember the american word* soda so I could settle in to the coach and watch the game tonight.

Ah well, it was for the best. Devils are 0-3-1 at home when I'm either there for the game, or watch it on TV. They are 2-0 when I miss the game. (-:
